Please note that these people do not speak for Tea Party Patriots; they just found a few in the organization that feel this way.
A couple centuries ago, the GOP formed itself on the bloated corpse of the Whig party. That previous party had intended to remain neutral concerning the core ethical issue of its day, and so had perished. The new party wasn’t just the anti-slavery party, they had a full platform touching on all the pertinent issues; but they didn’t compromise on their principles. A GOP that stays true to its basic commitment to the first freedom may or may not be successful, but one that doesn’t certainly won’t be.
This group sounds as if they assume that if Republicans do not “act on any social issue” that social issues will just lie dormant and no advocates of any persuasion, pro or con, will “act on any social issue”.
The whole thing sounds pretty nonsensical, and I’m confident that militant advocates of particular social change will be “acting on social issues” and Republicans would have to be suicidal to stand silently by.
The letter is a ham-handed attempt at some sort of preemptive strike to make Republicans reluctant to address some issues. Should be ignored.
Ah yes, the “We want liberty (as equated with depravity) but we don’t want to pay for the consequences” crowd.
Cut all funding for AID medications at the State and Federal level and homosexual issues starte to fade rapidly away while dealing with only financial issues.
The fact is, the people with the moral fiber to stop the criminal financial theft machine the Federal government has become have the moral fiber to take a stand on other issues as well including outright as well as creeping mass murder.
Social Issues? These folks sound like they want to build themselves new little cliques and end up with the swing votes in order to hold the solution to our financial crisis hostage to their social agenda, not like they want to ensure the focus remans on financial issues.

We’ve known all along that there were problems with the moral basis of some so-called “leaders” in the Tea Party movement. This is the worst example so far.

The Libertarian party would be the perfect place for these people. And given all the elections it just screwed up and handed to Democrats, they would probably just LOVE it there!
Looks like a whole lot of self-appointed tea party “leaders.” Eff ‘em. We don’t need and don’t want any steenking leaders!!
RINOS & CINOS be damed! Full speed ahead!
Rebellion is brewing!!
How sad that so many on Free Republic defend CPAC on welcoming GOPROUD to its event.
thanks for this list. i’ll add it to my present list of so called “tea party generals” to keep an eye on. in fact some of these are already on. be ware of “tea party patriots.” some of these folks are in it for themselves.
remember. speaking as a self-selected tea partier, no one person or “general” speaks for the tea party. and these folks don’t speak for me or the local group i’m in.
Anyone who is truely a TEA party member will reject these social Marxists.
The agenda of the perversion rights movements are not at all a Constitutional movement or a limited government movement.
These perverts who want perversion rights or the right to murder babies are not worthy of a vioce in the TEA party.
These perverts should be called out and put in their place.
I think you misunderstood this. They are not arguing for rights, they are against wasting time on crap that doesn't need committee time.
You are not going to change Roe v. Wade by getting into a snit every time you think you've been insulted.
And, BTW, nobody calls the shots for the tea party movement so you can all ignore whatever you want to and move on to something else.
Issa should be asking why Holder is a racist, not why he kills babies and kisses drag queens.

Here it comes, with at least one representative right on this thread. Leftists with a label "Republican" or "conseravtive" but promoting abortion, homosexual agenda crap and so on are nothing but enemies of the Constitution. Couple points - fiscal conservatism but socially liberal always turns into fiscal liberalism; it's a fiction/fantasy that never has worked and never will. Why? because socially liberal policies first of all cost big money to force down peoples' throats, monitor, and then to clean up the human debris that results. Second, socially moderate/liberal Republics never win. Third, since so many people don't want to swallow the agenda, force is needed to shove it on unwilling people, so it's nothing by tyranny anyway.
Please note that the GOProud is not conseravtive at all, it's merely another incarnation of the Log Cabin "Repugs" whose goal is to transmogrify the Republican Party into another tentacle of the homosexual "rights" movement. 90% of the GOProud's legislative agenda is clearcut straight across homo-nazi agenda issues - from same sex marriage to perverts in the military.
And you know what group filed suit to force the military to accept open perverts? Why, the Log Cabin Repugs. Neither the GOProud or the Logs are conservative in any way, shape or form. They are trojan horses trying to force the GOP to the left. They just happen to like guns a little bit and woudln't mind paying less taxes.
I’ve attended over 100 tea parties in darn near every state of the union. God, Guns, Family, Country, Life and Liberty were in full view at every single one of them. “One nation under GOD” is ALWAYS the loudest line recited in the Pledge of Allegiance. Whenever anyone on stage mentions God, Christianity, Life, Marriage or any other social issue the crowd always cheers!!
Any so-called tea party leaders who turn their backs on God, Family, Life and Liberty are turning their backs on the Declaration of Independence and our God-given Liberty and are leading us straight to socialist HELL!! They cannot be truasted to defend our freedom!!
No thanks!!
Kick them OUT!!
Let’s make a deal with the RINO wing of the party:
We conservatives will shut up about social issues and, in return, you RINOS stop selling us out to Democrats on the green agenda, immigration, taxes, spending, political correctness, campaign finance, etc.
Deal?
Who are these people to speak for the movement?
If people are concerned with their finances, but don’t care about the moral or social aspect of life, or have no problem with baby killing or perverted sex, or even approve of it, they are nothing but grubby money grubbers and greedy self serving self-absorbed people. Bottom line.
It is perverse to worry about your money or paycheck and taxes and not give a whit about abortion or sexual perversion.
Is that too harsh?
Personally I am so sick of the intolerant ‘tolerant’ crowd I could just puke.
The Tea Party movement feeds off of conservatism.
NOT liberalism or libertarianism.
